Samaira had finished her duties at the hospital, and couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer. Everyone was talking about the bridge, how it had just seemed to appear out of nowhere with the clearing of the storm and the smoke in the sky. More than one patient had come in talking about it, and herself and the other medics had wanted to know more. But there was so little information. Those who had gone to the end and come back said there was nothing there.

Samaira wanted to see so for herself. Thus, after she had completed with her drop in patient that day, she took to the skies with Alaunus at her side. Equine and bonded floated on the sea-winds out to the ocean, far above the mystical bridge below. From here, even she could not see the end of it.

”Do you suppose it’s safe?” Alaunus said, glancing at Samaira as they flew. “Some mentioned monsters in the sea, but none returned injured from the bridge that I know of,” the pegasus said. Were the beasts hunting them, waiting for someone to fall to the ocean? But none had, nobody had reported any such thing. But, she supposed, if someone had gone alone and not returned… Samaira shook the thought away with a flap of her wings. Unless someone was indeed reported missing, there was nothing to be worried about.

“Everything will be alright, Alaunus. Aren’t you supposed to be the one that’s always reassuring me?” She was jesting with the young heron, but did understand his concerns even as she tried to alleviate them. “Tell you what, as we fly, we will keep an eye on those below,” she said, and the bird nodded his agreement, feeling better. ”I’m sure we can’t be the first to fly out, but perhaps we will discover something different.”

“If we do, we will report it, but I’m not sure what we’ll find. Everyone says there is nothing there, where it stops.”

They flew on, riding the breezes as they continued to follow bridge for miles and miles. She thought, after awhile, that they would need to land on it just to rest. But then the clouds grew thicker and it became harder to see. “Alaunus, slow up, I can’t tell where we are goi-- woah, woah!” when suddenly out of the clouds arose a huge wall of ivy. Samaira extended her wings backward, catching the air in them in a desperate attempt to slow her foreward motion, kicking her legs to squander her momentum.

Alaunus deftly dove upward at her exclamation, avoiding the wall and circling back around in alarm. ”Are you alright?”, he asked, blue eyes looking over Samaira as she came to a stop just before the ivy. “Yes, I’m alright,” she backed up a short distance and looked up, left, right, down, “it seems to go on forever in all directions. I would travel up but I don’t think I could see well enough through the clouds to be comfortable. Probably best we don’t, but,” Samaira paused, glancing at her bonded, “What do you suppose the purpose of it is?”

The heron looked from Samaira to the wall and back. ”To keep us out? Or… to keep something else in?”

"Speaking."
